Re: B777 Engine Start

OP, I know exactly what you are saying. The most distinctive sounding airliner I've ever heard.
And the first time I sat in one at start up was "wow" inducing.

Re: Missing airplane on flight from Penticton to Edmonton

I think on the day in question it was more of a low pressure system blowing in moisture from the Pacific, which will tend to generate clouds as it blows up the valleys. More dangerous as you will tend to be under the clouds, which could suddenly close up in the valleys. (I'm not a weather forecaste...

Well you don't even understand the process.

HRC found out that you cannot call 60 million people "deplorables" and expect them to vote for you. Who knew?

What frightens me the most though are the tens of millions of people in the US that elected him. They'll still be there getting progressively more extreme in their views long after Trump is gone, and given the USA's huge economic influence and fearsome military power that's what makes the United St...

Question for RCAF people

My son is in Air Cadets and absolutely loves it. He dreams of a career in the RCAF and I would be interested in any feedback from present or past personnel. Maybe a brief description of your background and path to the Forces, and what you like and dislike. Also maybe what a young person needs to do ...

Re: Won't be long till it's fully entrenched here.

Its usually the individual's parents that fund these sort of things - all for a chance to brag about how their son or daughter flies jets. Does that count as self-funded? This is happening elsewhere too. In Formula 1 there are many pay drivers now. Rich parents are buying drives while top drivers s...

FB: I'm sorry you feel that way. ........ I have never regretted and cherish all of my children. That comes off a bit preachy.

Re: How concise are your feelings?

Harper, Trudeau, and Mulcair all tweeted thoughts and prayers for Veterans on Remembrance Day.

And for victims of the typhoon in the Philippines.

I see no difference.
